Computer scientists do the best job at retrieving the information; however,there’s no better person to analyze the retrieved information than aneconomist. Realizing the power of both these professions, I decided todouble major in Computer Science and Economics from the University ofIllinois at Urbana Champaign, and I am set to graduate this December.
I got to know about GoDaddy’s internship program when I attended a techtalk by one of the software engineers of the company. It was then that Irealized the value GoDaddy can bring to small businesses, which isessentially the economic backbone of any country. After analyzing all theinternship offers I had, I discovered how GoDaddy’s mission aligned with myown. Now, I’m an intern in the Data Science team at the company, whichprovides me the opportunity to analyze all sorts of data and see how thecompany can bring more value to small businesses. Down the lane, I wouldlike to empower more professions with the power of big data.
At GoDaddy’s TechFest, I plan on building a service that empowers smallbusinesses by giving them a deeper insight into their own business and theircompetition.
Shivam is based in Sunnyvale, CA. He’s one of the phenomenal humansparticipating in GoDaddy’s intern program. #GoDaddyLife #GoDaddyBrave
